John Edwards: $7 Million Dollars In One Day - Make It Happen FRIDAY!

[dragonkeep]

I just want to keep awareness up on this project. Send emails, talk to friends, reward the good video posted by themartyred with recommends, go to YouTube and vote it up. It's a huge task but we have a candidate who is worthy.
Watch themartyred's link to a great YouTube video! Really well done. video

To those of you who have pledged to contribute on Friday, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are the best!
To those of you who are matching $$'s for the number of recommends, you are a crazy bunch and I love you! To those of you who can't put in any funds but are wishing us the best, I thank you too. Good vibes are always appreciated.

Folks, we are trying to create a statement that makes it impossible for the news media to continue to ignore our candidate. We want to designate Friday Jan 18 as the day we break all records for a single day donation by raising $7,000,000 for John Edwards. Remember this amount will be matched.

From Daily Kos: I would like to suggest Friday, January 18, as the day to shatter both the record and the media's tinted glass ceiling on coverage. This would give us all five days to publicize the effort. If successful, it should generate some press in time for the Sunday papers and news programs. Then on Monday, there is the debate in South Carolina, where Edwards could promote the results. This would then be followed by the primary on Saturday which, hopefully, would benefit from the newly enhanced press attention.

If we believe that the media is unfairly slanting coverage, it is up to us to do something about it. We must not let them make our decisions for us. By thrusting Edwards' visibility forward with financial support that makes the press do a double take, we are effectively slapping the collective faces of the reporters who think they know what they're talking about; of the pundits who think they know what's best; of the blowhards like Bill O'Reilly who dismissively wave off our candidates as phonies and losers.]

1. The two thread rec total ended up at 535 by the way

that means $535 from me.

Let's keep this front and center. Where else could it be best spread other than DU and Kos? We need to reach more people.

3. YouTube

That video is on YouTube but needs to be ranked to get it on the front page there. That would reach a lot of people. I work at a college and have contacted the College Democrats.
